Marine Notices

Marine Notices are information notices issued by the Department to publicise important safety, regulatory and other information relating to maritime affairs in Ireland.

They are circulated to a wide range of individuals and organisations, including State agencies, the fishing industry, international shipping, and water-based recreational interests.

If you would like to be included on the mailing list to receive Marine Notices by e-mail, please send a request to marinenotices@dttas.ie, inserting your name and contact details.

In the listing, Marine Notices are organised into three categories, as follows:

· Statutory: These are Marine Notices that are issued to draw attention to a regulation or other legal requirement.

· Information: These are Marine Notices that give information on non-Statutory topics, such as Marine Survey Office procedures and examinations, publications, product recalls, safety alerts, and other industry notifications.

· Works: These are Marine Notices that advise of construction, works or surveys at sea that may affect navigation. This category also includes the placement of buoys and sub-sea wellheads off the coast of Ireland, as well as notification of firing-range practices.
